This maybe true but highly depressing. There is a huge downsize into thinking this way. You can only control what you do. You need to think 5 years out. Maybe getting a new job or starting a business is just what you needed. Rick Vaughn’s last blog post..Holy Smokes!

I cannot figure out why more people aren't flipping off corporate and going solo. I mean even if they just start part time after work hours I think it would do loads for someone's piece of mind to know they are growing their own success. Maybe it's just me, but it's a hell of a lot more likely I'm going to go the extra mile for myself than for some other jag that isn't really smart enough to manage a game of checkers much less a department or company. jennydecki’s last blog post..The New Dirty Hippie: Tie Dye Optional

@ surfer - I totally agree with what you are saying. Why not always go that extra mile? As a manager I have a mental list of those people I can always count on to get a project done. Those are my A-listers that I'll fight to protect. FFB’s last blog post..Sell Then Buy

Great post! It is tough out there and I agree with everything you said, but I will go one further as both an employee and a small business owner people as employees need to learn to quite doing just the minimum at their jobs even in the good times. Going that little extra mile ever week will help you stand out in the crowd. It is much better to stand out and have the boss know he can count on you when he needs to, he will remember that when it comes time to let people go. Why would he keep someone who just gets by when he has someone that actually puts out a good effort to perform and help out. Surfer Jerry’s last blog post..Grand Canyon Skywalk - Worlds Highest View

And with all of negativity that the media continues to sell, keep in mind that the EMPLOYMENT rate is 91.5% (as of today). Don't let them get you fixated on the wrong number. Focusing on the negative produces negative and focusing on the positive produces positive (that is a universal law). Anthony Kirlew’s last blog post..Meet Apple’s Newest Product Evangelist… ME!

I think even without a traditional job, like working on your own, you have to work harder to convince people that your services are needed. Now really is the time to be the cream of the crop and if we strive for that then we just may come out of this mess better off. FFB’s last blog post..No Job Is Below You

Great post! It really is true that many people are working just to keep their jobs. It's what makes me glad I don't have a traditional job. But I know it's tough out there... Miranda’s last blog post..3 Stocks Benefiting from the Recession
